Nice find. The lowest a.i. price I see is about $500 with a $40.- base fare and the rest in fuel surcharges and taxes/fees.
If you travel after December 4 and route via IAH, you get to fly on the new 787 for the TATL portion. And the cpm comes in at a very respectable 4.2

AA: DFW-TPA, $149 w/97N2BF to TPA in early Nov or 16H2BV to DFW in Oct.
Lots of date/time restrictions mean that few will be able to take advantage.
Sample date for travel to TPA: 09NOV - 14NOV.

UA/LH: DFW-IST, $852. KHJNC5N
Granted, this is not an amazing fare. However, what is amazing is that it is valid all through the summer travel period. Tons of availability.
Sample dates: 06JUL - 08JUL

Haven't looked that hard at TUS, but RTs to LAS and PDX from BWI definitely have same day, direct turn RTs with 4.5 c/eqm or better.

Posting the RDM is not a meaningful stat unless you post what elite level it is for. In any case, if you route the above fare BUD-LHR-DFW-HNL, it's 4.88 CpEQM. Which translates to 2.43 CpRDM for ExPs.
Excellent find, however!
